Green Light for new principal supervisor at LIME

A Green Light is an assessment of the suitability as supervisor with focus on track-record and time to supervise. The decision of Green Light is made by a group at the department. The Head of the department and the Director of doctoral studies are always involved in the decision-making. The Green Light is only valid at the department issuing the Green Light. The Green Light is connected to a specific doctoral position and should not be considered as a general approval to supervise.
